The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2953 Miscellaneous Plans

Shengyuan Continent, Kongcheng.

The densely packed people and scholars were facing Daofeng Mountain, standing or kneeling.

In the Holy Courtyard, in a side room of the big square.

On the table in the main hall of the house, there was a red sandalwood tray, and there was something on the tray, covered by red silk.

On the chair next to the table sat an old man with gray hair, wearing a purple Confucian robe that had been washed many times and was even slightly damaged. He looked solemn, but his face was pale, without a trace of blood on his face. His deep eye bags were particularly eye-catching, and his turbid eyes were full of bloodshot.

He held the teacup in both hands, and the teacup collided repeatedly, making a slight sound, revealing his trembling hands.

Just looking at his appearance and temperament, no one would associate this old man with a Confucian.

He was not only a Confucian, but also the former head of the Zong family, the old man of the Dongsheng Pavilion, and the Confucian Zong Ganyu.

In the room, many Zong family members sat on both sides, with a gloomy cloud.

"Uncle, do we really have to kneel down and worship Fang Yun? I won't accept it!" A scholar of the Zong family showed a sad face. His eldest son's literary courage was shattered and he was unconscious and lying stiff for many years because he opposed Fang Yun.

"Don't mention the name of the saint casually!" said an elderly scholar of the Zong family.

"If his statue has not entered the Temple of All Saints, he is not a true half-saint of the human race. Uncle, can we delay time? This Temple of All Saints is blessed by the power of all saints. Once his statue enters it, it will naturally gain the luck of our human race and become more powerful. It's better to let him die in Longcheng!"

"Yes, delay for a few more days. When the statue enters the temple, we will take sick leave collectively and make him a joke of the world and a half-saint who is ridiculed by others."

"You are so bold..." The old scholar shook his head gently, but did not try his best to stop it.

"Uncle, say something."

Everyone in the Zong family looked at Zong Ganyu.

Zong Ganyu seemed to have come to his senses at this time, and slowly glanced at everyone, his eyes cold, asking everyone to shut up.

Zong Ganyu was very satisfied with the reactions of the crowd. He put down the teacup and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you think I am willing? Do you think I will swallow my pride? Do you think I, the dignified elder of the Dongsheng Pavilion, the literary leader of the human race, the head of the Zong family, and the descendant of the half-saint, am willing to kneel down to Fang Yun?"

At the end, Zong Ganyu almost roared, his eyes bulged, and his face flushed.

The whole room was silent.

"Speak!" Zong Ganyu grabbed the teacup and threw it to the ground.

Pah...

No one dared to answer.

Zong Ganyu took a few deep breaths, snorted coldly, and his expression returned to normal.

"If you want to see the Zong family being attacked by the world, just do it. The statue is here. You can saw it or burn it. I won't stop you." Zong Ganyu's voice became feminine.

Everyone was silent.

After a long while, Zong Ganyu sighed and said, "You are stupid. How many eyes are watching us now? If we make a mistake, we will bear the infamy for a hundred years. What's more, the plan of the Zajia has been implemented, and it is imperative to compete with Fang... that thief for the Zonghengjia Saint Dao. Once the plan succeeds, the Zonghengjia Saint Dao will be withdrawn, and the prototype of the political Dao will be destroyed, and Fang the thief will be doomed! Is it worth it for today's breath?" Everyone hurriedly admitted their mistakes. Zong Ganyu smiled grimly and said, "Today, if you want to kneel, I will kneel too. Didn't Fang the thief say that if you endure for a while, the wind will be calm, and if you take a step back, the sky will be wide open. But as long as my Zongjia is in charge of the Dongsheng Pavilion, are you still afraid of not being able to trip him up?" Everyone smiled. "The head of the family is right!"

"The battle in Ning'an City is in full swing, and they urgently need everything from the Holy Court. We just need to postpone some official documents for a few days, and we can make them suffer a great loss!"

"We can't do anything about the statue's entry into the temple this time, but we can let the Fang family eat flies in the canonization ceremony later! The Fang family's country bumpkins, how could they know how many rules the Holy Court has."

"Yes, yes, yes, he is just a nouveau riche. Our Dongsheng Pavilion and the Lidian jointly organize the canonization ceremony. It's too easy to do something."

"No However, wouldn't it be better if we can't use the name of our clan to make those who are close to the Fang family make mistakes and embarrass the Fang family? "

"The Fang family is small, but each branch wants to take advantage of the Fang family. There must be unscrupulous people among them. We only need to guide them a little to make the Fang family notorious. "

"Wu State has been assisting Jing State. As long as we issue a transfer order and let Wu State help Gu State, we can greatly reduce the military strength of Ning'an. "

"That's great, hahaha..."

Zong Ganyu smiled and stroked his beard, but did not make a decision.

Several people under the seat said nothing, looking depressed. They never expected that a dignified semi-saint family, a leader among scholars, and their relatives would do such a despicable thing, and even target a semi-saint who has made great contributions to the human race.

Is this still a scholar?

The few people looked at each other, and saw helplessness in each other's eyes, and became even more discouraged.

Not long after, the bell rang.

Zong Ganyu coughed lightly, tidied his clothes, and picked up the tray.

"Follow me."

Everyone from the East Saint Pavilion filed out.

On the big square, almost all the scholars from the Saint Academy stood.

All the elders in the Li Hall had been waiting for a long time, and followed the team from the East Saint Pavilion to the Saint Hall.

Zong Ganyu had a blank expression on his face, holding a tray, but his hands were shaking slightly.

Many of the scholars watching could vaguely sense that Zong Ganyu's heart was extremely complicated.

Even though he had fainted a few months ago because of Fang Yun's self-determination, and even though he had just vomited blood because of Fang Yun's canonization, he had to come.

The scholars around looked at Zong Ganyu with all kinds of eyes, some were full of sympathy, some were sarcastic, some were smiling, especially the people of Jingguo, all of them were happy.

Walking to the gate of the Temple of All Saints, Zong Ganyu lifted the front of his robe with his talent, knelt outside the threshold, and sent the tray into the threshold.

"Welcome to Fang Sheng!" Zong Ganyu's tongue burst into spring thunder, and his voice spread throughout Kongcheng.

"Welcome to Fang Sheng!" All the people participating in the ceremony behind Zong Ganyu burst into spring thunder, and slowly bowed their knees at the same time.

All the scholars in the square, no matter what their literary status, even the heads of aristocratic families, slowly knelt on their knees.

In Kongcheng, the whole city knelt.

Then, Zong Ganyu raised the tray high.

A light breeze blew, blowing away the red silk cloth, revealing Fang Yun's statue.

In the Temple of All Saints, all the statues suddenly seemed to be alive, turning their heads together, their eyes slightly bright.

The statue of Fang Yun also seemed to come alive, bowing slightly and saluting to the saints.

Afterwards, all the statues, from the semi-saints to the six sub-saints to the statue of Confucius, bowed to Fang Yun.

Although the people participating in the ceremony bowed their heads, they could see the scene in the Hall of Saints from the corner of their eyes.

Zong Ganyu was so shocked when he saw this scene that he almost threw the tray away!

It was normal for the semi-saint statues of the human race to return the greeting when they first entered the Hall of Saints, but I have never heard of the sub-saint returning the greeting! I have never seen the statue of Confucius return the greeting!

It's like a student bowing to a teacher, and the teacher just nods, it's impossible for the teacher to bow in the same way. It's also like there are grandchildren who kowtow to their grandfathers, but no grandfathers bow to their grandchildren.
